Test Details
The DOG-1 test is an immunohistochemical staining technique used to detect the protein DOG-1 (discovered on GIST-1) in tissue samples. DOG-1 is a marker that is highly expressed in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), which are a type of soft tissue tumor that commonly occurs in the gastrointestinal tract.
The immunohistochemistry (IHC) technique involves using specific antibodies that are labeled with a chromogen to bind to the DOG-1 protein in tissue sections. This allows for visualization and detection of the protein under a microscope.
The DOG-1 test is particularly useful in diagnosing GISTs, as it can differentiate them from other types of tumors that may have similar characteristics. It can also be used to assess the prognosis of GISTs and guide treatment decisions.
Overall, the DOG-1 immunohistochemistry test is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of GISTs, providing valuable information for clinicians and pathologists.
